Ri and Billy sat down with Ri’s mother inside the
store. Billy had stopped crying but was still sad. Ri
meanwhile was thinking about what she could do to help Billy’s problem.
“Ri, what should I do?”
“I’m not sure Billy…”
“Hey, I don’t know if you’d both agree with this,
but Ri, you and Billy are of age to go on your pokémon journeys. You
could both travel to Pewter City. I can get you both tickets on the
Pidgeot Airways.” Ri looked at her mother with a strange and
worried look.
“You want us to leave?”
“No no, I didn’t mean it like that Ri. I’m
just telling you a possible choose you can make. I’d love it if you
stay here, but it’s a big would out there are you should explore it. You
can’t learn everything from me.”
“Hmm, I guess you’re right. What do you
think Billy? Would you like to journey with me to Pewter City?”
Billy thought about his parents for a second. “If
I left Seafoam, they’d never be able to bother me again. But if I
left, would that make me a bad person?” “Umm, I don’t know if I
can?”
“Billy, you want to be with that Nidoran right?”
“Yes, but.”
“Well, your parents aren’t going to change. Maybe
this isn’t such a bad idea. And you could be with Nidoran and train
it. Please Billy, come with me. I… I want to be with you
too.”
“You do?”
“Y… Yes.” Ri stopped. Wow,
she actually said it. Indirectly, but the point was right there. She
said it.
“Ohh, well then. Ok! I’ll go! Let’s
leave today. I’ve got all I need.”
“Ok, I’ll grab a few supplies we can use.”
“Here you go Ri.” Ri’s mother had just
booked them a flight on Pidgeot 558 in 30 minutes of the Internet. “Here
are your tickets.” Ri and Billy thanked her for everything and set
off for the airport.
On their way to the airport, two figure watched in the
shadows. “Don’t.”
“But…”
“Let him go. I know he’ll be ok.”
“I… I never thought this would happen.”
“Let the healing take place. In time, he
will be ready for us to welcome him again, but now is not the time.”
“I understand.” They hugged each other
and watched Ri and Billy walk into the distance. His tear became to
one visual contrast to his shadowy figure.
“Flight 558 to Pewter City will be departing in 5
minutes.”
“Oh no! Hurry Billy.”
“I’m running as fast I can.”
They both made a mad dash to the terminal and showed the
stewardess their boarding passes. Soon after, the place departed.
“Wow, our island sure is small from up here.”
“Yeah. I’ve never seen the hole thing
from this high.”
“Ri, do you think my parents are mad at me?”
“No Billy. I think they have realized that
you found your true calling. One day, they will return to you with
open arms. Trust me.”
“Ok. So, what’s in Pewter?”
“There’s a trainer named Brock who’s a breeder
too. I might be able to learn some stuff from him. You too
might learn from him about handling your pokémon.”
“Ok.” They got off the plane in Pewter
and headed to the pokécenter to spend the night. Tomorrow they would
go to see Brock.
